Definitions
- Procedure and machine for the cut of the laminated glass and armored glass are also known working through a hydraulic jet with elevated pressure in which the tool is constituted by the same jet of water containing abrasive particles that operates on the glass arranged horizontally.
- the cut of shapes different from the rectangular one, particularly curve is also allowed without limits of typologies, moreover communicating the information to the machine with computerized systems.
- Principal purpose that forms object of the present application is therefore that to resolve the underlined technical problems eliminating the inconveniences of which to the above listed known technique and therefore contriving a procedure that allows to obtain in automatic way the cut of a plate of laminated glass and armored glass, for the splitting up in sub-sections, generally rectangular but not excluding, even if with great complications, also the polygonal forms or at least with some oblique side.
- the product is the so-called laminated glass" and armored glass" constituted by two or more plates of single glass joined by means of one or more membranes of plastic product, the polyvinyl or polyvinylbutirrale, which joins in an irreversible way two or more plates of glass to constitute a "multi-layer” that acquires so elevated mechanical characteristics what the greatest moment of inertia and modulus of resistance to bending and insuperable characteristics of resistance to the breaking in as the brittleness of the glass, even if this brittleness remains the characteristic of the single plate, is compensated by the notable elastic resistance of the membrane or the membranes intimately interposed.
- the single plates of glass in the most diffused solutions, have a thickness from 6 to 52 mm, while the single membrane of polyvinyl is being obtained using one or more sheets with the
- the process of manufacture that unites intimately and the plates and the membrane or the membranes, consists in the principal followings but not exclusive phases: washing and drying of the single plates, laying of the sheet or the sheets of polyvinylbutirrale in horizontal order on the inferior plate, laying of the superior plate, layout of ulterior sheets and plates, pressing of the whole group of plate / membrane / plate on horizontal heated roller press, final treatment in autoclave to elevated temperature.
- the Figure 1 shows the product that is processed with the procedure object of the present application that is the big plate of glass, with the sample tracing of the subdivision in the requested plates for the following employment.
- x is pointed out the first level of cut, y the second, z the third etc., clearly the passage to the following level of cut involves the rotation of the strip of interested plate and its translation both from the zone of cut to that of rotation and the following from the zone of rotation to the preceding cutting bridge or to a following cutting bridge, in the case the machine has more than one cutting bridge.
- the Figure 2 represents the big plate in position of load on the station of feeding of the cutting table.
- the Figure 3 represents the positioning of the big plate (that then it is repeated for the following portions of the same big plate) in such a way to bring the vertical line destined to be cut in correspondence of the station of cut.
- the desired quota is determined by the position of the mobile bridge, and of the relative reference of contrast with the glass; the mobile bridge also serves to the following clamping and translation of the strip if this last has such dimensions from not being transportable for the only action of the working conveyor operating in correspondence of the bottom edge of the same glass.
- the Figure 4 represents the strip, previously cut, translated through the mobile bridge in correspondence of the station of rotation.
- the Figure 5 represents the rotation of the same strip and the contemporary translation of the mobile bridge to the purpose of its anticipated positioning for the measurement of the dimension of following cut.
- the Figure 6 represents the positioning of the strip (that then is repeated for the following portions of the same strip) in such a way to bring the vertical line destined to be cut in correspondence of the cutting station.
- the Figure 7 represents the first ended piece (obtained through two levels of cut x and y) translated in the station of unloading of the machine and destined to the following process or to an intermediary station of accumulation / clearing or to a store.

Description
Claims (11)
- automatic procedure for the cutting of the plates of laminated glass and armored glass carried out on glass laying with vertical position or with light slope in respect to the vertical or with any orientation, through one or more tools constituted by an abrasive disk working in flow of water, characterized by the fact that the process is articulated in a first phase of cutting of the plate according to a line parallel to a side of the plate, in a second phase of translation of the cut band, in a third phase of rotation of the same band, in a fourth phase of translation of the same band, in a fifth phase of cut of the band according to a line parallel to the other side of the original plate and in ulterior progressive phases concerning both the bands and the plate till the completion of the wanted splitting up of the plate in the progressive levels.
- automatic device for the cutting of the plates of laminated glass and armored glass carried out on glass laying with vertical position or with light slope in respect to the vertical or with any orientation, through one or more tools constituted by an abrasive disk working in flow of water, characterized by the fact that the process is articulated in a first station of cutting of the plate according to a line parallel to a side of the plate, in a second station of translation of the cut band, in a third station of rotation of the same band, in a fourth station of translation of the same band, in a fifth station of cut of the band according to a line parallel to the other side of the original plate and in ulterior progressive repetitions of the working concerning both the bands and the plate till the completion of the wanted splitting up of the plate in the progressive levels.
- procedure as to the preceding claims, characterized by the fact that the fifth phase (and the corresponding following) of cut orthogonal to that carried out in the first phase (and in the corresponding following) can happen or in correspondence of the same bridge of cut in which the cut of the first phase has happened or in correspondence of a separate bridge. According to the cases the sense of the translation of the fourth phase of translation changes.
- procedure as to one or more than the preceding claims, characterized by the fact that the following levels of cut, besides being in condition of mutual orthogonality, can happen according to lines generically inclined for the obtaining of polygonal forms. In this case the relative machine foresees suitable mechanisms or for the inclination of the plate (or portion of plate) or for the inclination of the cutting bridge or the cutting bridges.
- device as to one or more than the preceding claims, characterized by the fact that the fifth station (and the corresponding following) of cut orthogonal to that carried out in the first station (and in the corresponding following) can happen or in correspondence of the same first station containing the bridge of cut in which the cut of the first phase has happened or in another station distinguished by the first one.
